The callousness and lack of consideration for Gabby’s family was so terrible. She was about to become their daughter in law -her family was about to become their family- and the Laundrie’s actively participated in making them suffer longer than they needed to. The fact that they never even sent a single text to her parents is insane.

Agreed. I mean how hard would it have been to text them and at least say, “No, we haven’t heard from Gabby.”

This is the bit I don’t understand, like they all made it so much more suss, if she said she’s left and he’s given her some money (or she gave him I can’t remember) as per the messages/story he tried to ‘set up’ with the bank transfer, why then just refuse to say anything. It just makes you look guilty, so why even bother to attempt to cover it up. Surely it makes more sense to say ‘Brian told us he gave her some money and she took off, we haven’t seen her’ (I can’t actually remember who he made it look like that ‘gave’ who the money)

Also, they knew where he was, I think they knew he was dead when they went to the park. How did they find him in like under an hour when hundred of people couldn’t find him over days. Why didn’t they tell the cops where to look, did they not want him found??

What’s crazy is he sent himself money from Gabby’s account. I had to pause and read it because I thought for sure it would be the other way. Murdered her then stole money from her.

AND wrote in the transfer note "Goodbye Brian. This is the last you'll ever have to deal with me." Or "hear from me."

Something along those lines. Unsure if that's a new detail by the documentary but that got me even more livid.

How psychotic do you have to be to do that??

There’s something pretty self absorbed about even after murdering someone thinking the most likely story is them paying you so they can leave you - because you’re just so important.

That actually made it a federal crime. Stolen money transfer between statelines or something.
